Connor woke up at 630 this morning and whispered to us for the next half hour about "kissmas" and "Kanka Cause" -- he muttered about toys and "pessents" while we vainly tried to get him back to sleep for another hour. He even resorted to bribery, offering us "tuddles" and "tisses" if we'd let him get up and see "Kanka." We finally gave up at 7 and told him we could go downstairs and see if Santa Claus came and left toys for him.
And boy, did Santa (and family!) come through...here's a picture of his chair draped in Santa presents.
He got a stocking stuffed full of animal figures -- Alaska and sealife ones, primarily -- and some chocolate coins, a big M&M full of little ones, a flute, and a penguin Pez dispenser. Thanks to Nani for some of those treats!
He got a camera of his very own from Santa. How does Santa know what you really want? He is kneeling in front of mommy's old dollhouse that we got out of storage...we took out all the chokables and left big furniture pieces. His animal presents have already taken up residence -- I think it would be very startling for his playmobil people to discover polar bears in the bathroom, but that's apparently where they belong. Sigh...the "free" toy is his favorite, I think!
Connor got this bowling set from Aunt Angela...basement bowling for everyone!
Here he is trying to pry the lid off the animal tube. No time to wait when there's starfish to be played with!
Now he's munching on his egg and toast daddy made for breakfast, playing with his automated bulldozer and watching Thomas videos (another gift from Uncle Davey and Aunt Christal!). He's already got plans to crack into the playdoh ice cream shoppe from Christal and Davey, and he's got a stack of movies (Horton Hears a Who, Toy Story, on and on) to watch. Add in mommy and daddy's gift of Candyland and it's going to be a full Christmas day.
Timmy slept through all of the Christmas festivities and was much more interested in nursing and chewing on his fists than his presents. He did get into a staring contest with the bear Uncle Davey and Aunt Christal got for him -- the bear won. He loves this funky little ball Nani sent him that has little arms all over it...he can grab and chew to his heart's content and he loves to stare at the star on the side.
